“I’m ready,” Zetterlund told reporters on Sunday, a day before he makes his Senators debut at home against the Detroit Red Wings. “I feel great. I’m looking forward to stepping on the ice tomorrow and it’s going to be fun.”

The Sharks traded goalie Vitek Vanecek and center Nico Sturm to the Florida Panthers in separate deals on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. In the Vanecek deal, the Sharks received AHL forward Patrick Giles. For Sturm, the Sharks got back a 2026 fourth-round pick while also sending a 2027 seventh-round selection to the Panthers.

The Ottawa Senators have acquired forward Fabian Zetterlund in a trade with the San Jose Sharks centred around prospect Zach Ostapchuk. Ottawa also receives former-second round pick Tristen Robins, and a fourth round-pick from San Jose.
